Linking queries error code 1052

Question

I am getting error code 1052 Column FireStationHome in field list is ambiguous when trying to equijoin two tables together in a query

This is the code I am using below:

SELECT FiremanID, FiremanHomeStation,StationPhone
FROM FIRE_REPORT AS F, FIRE_STATION AS FS
WHERE F.FiremanHomeStation = FS.FiremanHomeStation
AND StationPhone ='703';

From reading through the forums I am understanding that I need to link the first relation by a linking key. FiremanHomeStation is the only linking key that I need to run the following directions.

Display FiremanID, FiremanHomeStation, and phone number of the station for all firefighters whose numbers begin with '703'.

Using the Boyce Codd Method I have normalized the following

FIRE_REPORT(FireID,Alarms,Address,FiremanID,FiremanName,FiremanPhone,FiremanHomeStation,StationAddress,StationPhone,TruckID,LicensePlate)

The rules:

Each Fire can have several firefighters assigned to it
Each fire can have several fire trucks assigned to it
Each firefighter can be assigned to several fires
Each fire truck and be assigned to several fires
Each Firefighter has a single home station
Each station is unique
Each station has a single phone number

primary keys

FireID, FiremanID, FiremanHomeStation,TruckID

FireID -> Alarms, Address
FiremanID -> FiremanName, FiremanPhone, FiremanHomeStation
FiremanHomeStation -> StationAddress, StationPhone
TruckID -> LicensePlate

FIRE_REPORT( FireID, FiremanID, FiremanHomeStation, TruckID )
FIRE( FireID , Alarms, Address)
FIREMAN_ID( FiremanID , FiremanName, FiremanPhone)
FIRE_STATION( FiremanHomeStation , StationAddress, StationPhone)
TRUCK( TruckID , LicensePlate)

Referential integrity constraints
FireID in FIRE_REPORT must exist in FireID in FIRE
FiremanID in FIRE_REPORT must exist in FiremanID in FIREMAN_ID
FiremanHomeStation in FIRE_REPORT must exist in FiremanHomeStation in FIRE_STATION
TruckID in FIRE_REPORT must exist in TruckID in TRUCK

Answer 1

FiremanHomeStation is existing in both table but you don't specify from which table you want the result, which is ambiguous.

SELECT FiremanID, FS.FiremanHomeStation,StationPhone
FROM FIRE_REPORT AS F, FIRE_STATION AS FS
WHERE F.FiremanHomeStation = FS.FiremanHomeStation
AND StationPhone ='703';

Should work
